I’ve always been a strong believer that you need to continually strive to better yourself as a photographer, year on year. That is why I invest heavily in my education by learning from some of the best photographers in the world. However, most of the workshops/seminars I attend focus mainly on the posed/directed side of wedding photography, and whilst I do enjoy this part of the day (in particular – directing my couples into flattering and romantic portraits), over 90% of the day I spend photographing in a documentary style. Unfortunately there aren’t many workshops out there that focus on this aspect – probably because it’s such a difficult thing to teach!
That’s why I’m so excited to be a part of MYVISION – a workshop concept put together by a group of the UK’s best wedding photographers. It’s the first workshop of it’s kind in this country and I’ll be one of the lucky few participants on it! Each participant has been assigned a team leader who will give each of us a unique photographic assignment to fulfill. The scary part is that we won’t know what the assignment will be until the morning we start it! It could be anything from documenting a day in a tattoo parlour to photographing kids in a skateboard park! We are all getting very nervous now and things kick off this Sunday – eeek!
More information about the MYVISION workshop can be seen on the dedicated website. We also have a blog that will be updated throughout the workshop to show what the participants are getting up to! Wish me luck!
